Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3654: The Divine Wood Clan

Chapter 3654: The Divine Wood Clan

“Only a hundred thousand years? Sigh, what a pity, what a pity!” The artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall sighed gently.
“Hey, what’s there to pity?” the artifact spirit of the Source of Life asked in confusion. It could sense that the artifact spirit seemed to be referring to it.
“I’m feeling pity for you. If you followed master wholeheartedly, perhaps you would obtain a life-changing opportunity in the future. Unfortunately, you’re only following him for a hundred thousand years.” The artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall shook his head and sighed.
This time, the Source of Life instead fell silent, as it had heard something similar from the sword spirits many years ago. Now, it actually heard it again from the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall, which made it develop very deep doubts.
The Primeval Divine Hall was no regular artifact spirit. It was a creation of Primeval Qi. Like the sword spirits, it was a natural spirit.
Basically every single word and action from such existences would have an unconscious influence over artifact spirits that were nurtured into creation like the Source of Life.
“D-don’t tell me Jian Chen really is extraordinary?” the Source of Life asked in confusion.
“If master were an ordinary man, why would I have chosen to follow him out of my own free will? After all, after my previous master passed away, I refused to yield to anyone anymore. Even if they were powerful Saints, I would not submit to them. However, ever since I saw master, I made the choice to follow him without any hesitation,” said the artifact spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall.
“T-then can you tell me exactly what makes Jian Chen different?” The Source of Life became more and more curious. It could not help but take him seriously seeing how the Primeval Divine Hall and the sword spirits spoke so highly of Jian Chen.
“There are certain things that I can’t tell you, as some absolute secrets can only be known by natural spirits like us,” said the Primeval Divine Hall.
“Source of Life, you’ve yet to reach your peak condition. In your current state, you might not necessarily be able to endure a strand of Primeval Qi. Hear me out. Hold off with the Primeval Qi for now. After all, it’s not like you don’t know that master is currently facing danger.” The sword spirits appeared as well to persuade the Source of Life.
“A-alright then… I will wait until I recover completely before I take the Primeval Qi.”
Persuaded by the Primeval Divine Hall and the sword spirits, the Source of Life finally agreed, but it was filled with doubt. It could not imagine what made Jian Chen so special that even the Primeval Qi held him in such great esteem.
Jian Chen’s soul exited the Primeval Divine Hall. He had already made up his mind. After helping the sect settle down, he would devote himself to refining high grade Godking pills and nurture a few tens of thousand Nine-heavenly Xuan immortals. Afterwards, he would use these Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals to unleash a part of the Divine Formation of the Heavens’ might. With that, he could take the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain away with him and assist the Primeval Divine Hall in its recovery.
“Master, I require some heavenly resources!” As soon as Jian Chen’s soul emerged from the Primeval Divine Hall, the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s voice rang out in his head.
He looked over subconsciously. All he saw was the Immortal Devouring Orchid fiddling around with a ball of black fluid with its tendrils. It brought the ball of black fluid over to Jian Chen and said, “Master, this is anything but simple. It can control the minds of certain plants. If you can force it into a plant’s body, it should be more than capable of controlling an Immortal Emperor plant.”
“You obtained this from Lin Sen?” Jian Chen stared at the ball of black fluid and studied it.
“Yes, master. I’ve already placed him completely under my control. He’s already agreed to refine those God Tier pills for me, but I don’t have any of the heavenly resources required,” answered the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
“Let me see him,” Jian Chen said.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid obeyed. In the next moment, a great suction force appeared, and Jian Chen was directly sucked into the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s body.
Jian Chen felt his vision darken. He appeared within a colossal and gloomy space. The space was extremely vast with dim lights flickering like stars.
No one knew what the Immortal Devouring Orchid had evolved into now. It had completely diverged from what it was originally. For example, the space within its body seemed to be developing into an individual world of its own.
Lin Sen was pale-white, sitting on the ground miserably in front of Jian Chen. There were a few holes in his body.
“A-are you really the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s master?” Lin Sen sat on the ground, disabled. He stared at Jian Chen with dim eyes as he asked feebly.
“That’s right. I nurtured the Immortal Devouring Orchid from when it was a seed.” Jian Chen confessed extremely honestly without any attempt to hide it.
“No ordinary person can nurture an Immortal Devouring Orchid to Immortal Exalt. Who exactly are you?” Lin Sen stared firmly at Jian Chen.
“You don’t need to know who I am. State your identity, background, and exactly who ordered you to come to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.” Jian Chen stared at Lin Sen emotionlessly.
Lin Sen was slightly conflicted, wanting to resist instinctively, but as soon as he remembered his current circumstances, he sighed inside and said, “I come from the Modest Silence Heaven. I am the ancestor of the Divine Wood clan of the Immortal Region of Fertile Earth. I haven’t come to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens under the instructions of anyone. Instead, I learnt that the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens possessed a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor Immortal Devouring Orchid through certain avenues.”
“On top of that, this Immortal Devouring Orchid had not taken on a master, nor did it have a powerful backing, which was why I specially came here in an attempt to tame the Immortal Devouring Orchid and strengthen my Divine Wood clan.”
“No powerful background? Didn't you know who I was before you came to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?” Jian Chen asked.
Lin Sen glanced at Jian Chen and said, “You are you. The Immortal Devouring Orchid is the Immortal Devouring Orchid. After all, the information I possessed at the time said the Immortal Devouring Orchid belonged to the Star Clustered Ancestor. The Star Clustered Ancestor is already dead, so the Immortal Devouring Orchid would obviously be masterless. If it were willing to leave with me, you would have no reason to stop it.”
“And what did you feed the Immortal Devouring Orchid?” Jian Chen asked.
“Those are Spirit Transformation pills. Not only do they contain the origin presence unique to my clan, but it also possesses a shred of the power of our bloodline. Plants that have not taken human form yet are unable to resist those pills, as there are no plants that have not taken form that can resist the temptation of Spirit Transformation pills.”
“Ingesting them over long periods of time can even accelerate their evolution and open up greater space for growth in the future,” said Lin Sen.
“You must have added something to the Spirit Transformation pills, right? What is the black substance?” Jian Chen asked.
“That’s the Mind-devouring Demon Spirit. Feeding it to certain plants over long periods of time will slowly infiltrate their minds and alter their thought processes, allowing me to control them. However, the time it takes is quite long. It’ll need several centuries or even millennia at the very least. If it’s an extremely powerful plant, even tens of thousands of years might not see any effects.”
“However, sending the Mind-devouring Demon Spirit into a plant is anything but easy. I could only cover it up with the Spirit Transformation pills to avoid the plant from sensing anything. Otherwise, once the plant begins to resist instinctively, it can eject the Mind-devouring Demon Spirit very easily,” said Lin Sen.
“And how many experts does your Divine Wood clan have?” Jian Chen continued to ask.
“I am the strongest expert of the Divine Wood clan. There are only three Immortal Emperors. The rest are all beneath Immortal Emperor. That’s not a secret on the Modest Silence Heaven,” Lin Sen answered without withholding anything.
“Only three Immortal Emperors? Even an organisation as feeble as that has turned its attention towards the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?” Jian Chen snorted.
Jian Chen’s contempt towards the Divine Wood clan seemed to insult Len Sen. He was immediately infuriated. “Our Divine Wood clan might not be a peak organisation, but with three Immortal Emperors, we still rule over a region of our own on the Modest Silence Heaven.”
Jian Chen did not bicker with Lin Sen. As his strength increased, his insight and breadth of mind changed too. Now, organisations with just Immortal Emperors really were nothing to him.
“Give me the formula for the Spirit Transformation pill,” Jian Chen asked for the alchemy formula.
